With this kind of 40 time, the obvious solution to our dilemma is to draft Robinson to be our #1 WR.

When we play the 'Hawks, we can motion him to Richard Sherman's side of the field. Let Greg bellow to Sherman, "If you try holding me, sucker, I'll drag your sorry butt all the way to play dirt and stomp all over your loud mouth tail!!!!"

But you can and generally do get great right tackles and guards later.

You're arguing as if it's a given that all 5 OL positions are equally important (or at least guards and tackles). I don't agree with that position. I did notice you didn't address the argument that anyone taking a pure Center #2 would be laughed out of the draft.

That said, teams DO get criticized for already having a #1 WR and drafting another one. Look at Atlanta when Julio Jones was drafted. It's only because he really worked out that it looked smart.

And I've said all along that if Robinson (or Matthews) looks like they'll be special AND Watkins doesn't appear to be, go ahead and draft the OT. If we pick Robinson and he ends up a bust, then we look twice foolish though for having a bust AND taking a redundant pick.

*** People remember w/ more & more pass rushers playing the DT position now (and sub packages of 4 DEs) MEANS you need better interior linemen.. So getting elite OG's is more important than ever!!!RTs are getting taken in Rd 1 now so we can start Robinson at LG until Jake Long is done

We'll have to see if the Rams think that way. I don't think they do. I could be wrong about that. You guys could be too. There is no right or wrong here. There is no UNDERSTANDING we either have or we don't. We just have different opinions of what most benefits our team. That's okay.

Unless of course, the blue font implies that you're kidding.

normally I'm full of shyte but it this case i was just highlighting my thoughts

If we draft Robinson I hope he starts at LG this year. Next year rams would need to cut Jake in order to clear cap space and have Robinson take over at LT. Thats if the rams use the 2nd overall pick on Robinson

Who said anything about cutting Jake Long? He is on a very reasonable contract for a top-tier lineman. If he fully recovers from the injury and for some reason we felt like we absolutely had to start Robinson at LT, then we'd either put Long at RT or trade him away.

One could not argue that placing a run blocking monster like a 6-5 332 pound Gerald Robinson next to Jake Long 6-7 320 pounder would be just too much for the other NFL teams to handle & deal with.....it sure would make that run blocking left side something to behold for Zac.

If im taking Robinson at #2, he better be my starting LT in the near future. Im not using such a high pick for an OG...I'll just wait till the end of the first round to fill the LG spot

It's been said before but seeing as the two top OTs are so close, it really isn't about who's slightly better, but who's the better scheme fit. That being said I'll let you guys figure out who fits in better with our starting lineup from last year:

I'm no expert, but i'm also not naive enough to fall in love with a guys combine numbers and declare him an automatic football gift from the Gods.
What impressed me today from watching GR was his physique at 6'5" 330 lbs,his feet and balance(watch his broad jump) and overall his pure athleticism for a man his size.
